Rose QuarterI-205: Stafford Rd to Oregon CityTolling programKey agency liaison for the Interstate 5 bridge projectGrowing capacity to deliver future programs that may be on the horizonWe are making this move in conjunction with our Oregon Transportation Commission and especially its new chair, Robert Van Brocklin.This change is also designed to ensure the success of Region 1 on maintenance, operational and other project delivery challenges in the region. It will be critical that the Urban Mobility and Mega Project Office and Region 1 regularly coordinate and work in harmony in the “one ODOT” spirit. Once the Manager is hired, we will further assess what positions the Office will need and refine how they will coordinate with Region 1 and other areas of the agency.I firmly believe this move will provide an important structure and focus to help us deliver on important charges given to us by House Bill 2017 and help ODOT meet the expectations of the OTC.Paul MatherODOT Deputy DirectorAdvertisement Note that the leader of this new office will report to the Highway Division Administrator, a position currently filled by Kris Strickler, who’s in line for the agency’s top job. As you can see in the ODOT org chart above, if Strickler moves up, next in line is McGregor Lynde. Lynde was formerly the Active Transportation Division manager. That position has been vacant for a few months but I just confirmed they’ve hired Jeff Flowers to fill it. Flowers had been in charge of the Program & Funding Services Unit within the Action Transportation Section.In related news, the OTC discussed the appointment of a new ODOT director in a closed-door meeting this week. Sources say they’ll continue deliberations in a meeting next week when a decision will likely be made.

At Harvard, glass flowers that perfect the imperfection of decay - The Boston Globe

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

VR is analog and in three dimensions. They’re astounding, of course. But that very capacity to astound raises all sorts of interesting, even unsettling, questions. Surely, no art-making material lends itself to as wide a range of aesthetic outcomes as glass does. That range extends from the sublimity of the windows of the medieval craftsmen at Chartres and Matisse at Vence to the sub-kitsch of Dale Chihuly’s“Lime Green Icicle Tower” at the Museum of Fine Arts.The Blaschkas’ handiwork manages to partake of both extremes. The glass flowers straddle technique and inspiration, craft and art, verisimilitude and imagination. They are, in their spectacularly more detailed way, a bit like the Terracotta Army of Chinese soldiers unearthed in the 1970s. With both flowers and soldiers, representation is an end unto itself. Long before anyone ever heard of the uncanny valley, that’s where the flowers were planted and the soldiers stood at attention.Advertisement“Pear with pear scab Pyrus communis.”(Jennifer Berglund)This exaltation of representation as an end unto itself — the flowers horticultural kin to the replicants in “Blade Runner” — makes them a bit creepy. It also makes “Fruits in Decay” a welcome window on the collection. Decay is as much a part of botany as growth is — maybe even more, since decay gets the last word. That being so, the collection includes models that show plants which are diseased or stunted. This is the case with the 20 or so examples in the exhibition. By focusing on decay, creepiness becomes, in a sense, the point. This form of creepiness — a literal yuck factor — is embraced even as it’s called attention to.Moore’s friend and fellow poet Wallace Stevens famously declared that “Death is the mother of beauty.” That’s in his poem “Sunday Morning.” Elsewhere Stevens wro... https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/art/2019/09/05/harvard-glass-flowers-that-perfect-imperfection-decay/SbW5FA3jqnOskov2WXxx8M/story.html

Miss Manners: Floral runaround could have been avoided - The Washington Post

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

I sent her a photo and video of the bouquet and card so that they could be temporarily enjoyed, at least visually.I was a bit stunned to get a call from her asking me to please call the florist, and ask if the flowers could be picked up and a new bouquet delivered upon her return, but I said “Of course.” So I called the local florist and they said they’d see what they could do.Apparently the florist then called their client, the sender, to ask if they’d like to pay to send a second bouquet. Somebody bears the cost of a second bouquet.It seems to me that a gracious person would have said, “Oh, those are beautiful; would someone in our office like to take them home and enjoy them?” Was her request a symptom of over-entitlement?Alive as Miss Manners is to the rudeness of others, she cannot help noticing that there would be less rudeness if we did not go around expecting to find it. What your boss did was unexpected, but not rude.What happened next created the mess, much like the actor who drops a prop that causes another actor to trip and fall into the lap of the gentleman in the front row.Your boss’s hope that the flower shop would reschedule the delivery after it had occurred was absurdly optimistic. But she is the boss. Your call to the flower shop should have been: “My apologies.

Inside UrbanStems' Mission to Remake the Flower Delivery Business: 'There Are Great Days and There Are Horrible Days' - Inc.

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

Jeff Sheely. They launched UrbanStems, a direct-to-consumer flower delivery company that bypasses the traditional model, in which consumers buy bouquets via national aggregators who then use local florists for delivery.The D.C.-based startup has had some growing pains--including a disastrous 2017 Valentine's Day-- but it's blossomed into a flower powerhouse, landing at No. 385 on the 2019 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private U.S. companies.At UrbanStem's D.C.-area warehouse, shown above, bouquets get a final trimming, packaged, and then handed to couriers for same-day local delivery. Prior to delivery, quality control workers remove any unhealthy flowers, but leave damaged outer-layer petals in place on buds that are otherwise in good shape. This helps protect healthy petals during transportation, and the customer can remove the damaged petals upon delivery.UrbanStems tries to make its customers feel like a community by engaging throughout the year. "In October, we did something for breast cancer awareness," says CEO Seth Goldman. "My wife was diagnosed in July, and I sent out a very personal letter. The response we got from people was amazing. We have the kind of product that allows us to have authentic, emotional conversations with our customers."Valentine's Day is an intense time for any flower company, but February 13, 2018, is a day that Goldman will always remember vividly. Having recovered from the disastrous Valentine's Day the year before, the company decided to partner wit... https://www.inc.com/magazine/201909/kate-rockwood/urbanstems-seth-goldman-ajay-kori-flower-bouquet-delivery-2019-inc5000.html

Flowers from all over the world sent to El Paso victim's funeral - WKMG News 6 & ClickOrlando

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

Reckard's son said. Elodia Perches, co-owner of Perches Funeral Home, said the funeral home has received more than 400 flower arrangements. One local florist said her business delivered more than 50 arrangements, with orders coming in from New York and Michigan. One of those arrangements came from the family of a victim of the Sandy Hook shooting. "I've been in business over 30 years," Sandy Blanco, owner of Debbie's Bloomers, told CNN. "I've never seen any outpouring so beautiful, and an outpouring as large as this." Salvador Perches, owner of Perches Funeral Home, told the mourners that funeral homes across El Paso had received so many flower arrangements that he coordinated with them to have 22 hearses -- one for each the 22 people killed in the shooting -- to deliver the flowers to a memorial in the the Walmart parking lot. One woman flew in from San Francisco When Hala Hijazi heard about the open invitation to the visitation three days ago, she broke down. Seeing how much Basco loved his wife and how lost he is without her touched her heart, she said. Without a second thought, Hijazi cleared her calendar and booked a flight to El Paso from San Francisco. "I didn't want him to suffer alone. I didn't want him to grieve alone," she said through tears. Hijazi said that "all the rhetoric that's going on in this world" makes her want to show kindness. And if she gets a chance to talk to Basco at the funeral, she wants to thank him. She got that chance when she sat behind Basco at the service. "I thanked him for not just bringing El Paso together, but bringing the country together," she said. "I have never witnessed a human being as humble, as kind, as sweet, as pure of heart that I've ever met in my entire life." Hijazi said with all the negativity, divisiveness and violence in the world, she was worried she would be desensitized. "He was a breath of fresh air to me to weep as much as I could," she said of Basco. She said El Paso was a beautiful and kind community, and she said she would come back for sure. "They're like this whether there was a tragedy or not, and that's how we should all be," she said. Her husband visits her memorial every day Since the massacre that took the love of his life, Basco has visited the makeshift memorial behind Walmart daily, coming and going at all hours. He leaves fresh flowers each day at the site of a white cross bearing his wife's name and removes any that are dying. Sometimes, he talks to her. "I promised her fresh roses every day," Basco said. Basco met Reckard at a bar 22 years ago. She had been smiling at him that night, and he eventually worked up the courage to approach her. A drink and friendly conversation soon turned into a dinner. "Me and my wife had a bond, a magnificent bond," Basco said. "I never felt anything like that in my life." The couple soon became inseparable, traveling around the country until they eventually settled in El Paso. They took care of each other as they grew older and as Reckard began battling Parkinson's disease. On August 3, Reckard headed to the Walmart near Cielo Vista Mall for groceries. It was the last time Basco saw ... https://www.clickorlando.com/news/national/flowers-from-all-over-the-world-sent-to-el-paso-victims-funeral
